After Cabell County Board of Education Meeting

By: Alyssa Salyers

The Cabell County Board of Education approved the motion to supply Huntington Middle and Southside Elementary with a new turf playground at tonight’s meeting.

The turf project is estimated to cost $122,987.58 and being placed only in the damaged area of the playground.  Board member Garland Parsons challenged the motion and said that similar problems are occurring at schools in county.  He said he thought if one school was to be given funding for this issue then the board should find funding to give to the other schools dealing with this problem.  Parsons gave the board photos of Altizer Elementary’s playground that showed the need for turf at that school as well.  The board concluded with the approval of the turf at Southside and Huntington and plan to discuss other school playgrounds in the future. 

Members of the board tabled a motion to name the Central Office Executive Board Room until further researched could be done.  Daughter of Former Cabell County Board of Education president, Teresa Grant, requested that the board motion to name the board room after her late father, Ted. T Barr, who died while serving as president.  Members decided to continue the discussion after researching other past members who they thought also needed to be recognized.

The board announced that the budget was balanced and the county was in good standing.

The Superintendent presented the board with recent OEPA reports.  OEPA or office of education performance audits reports were done at both Central City and Huntington middle schools.  The OEPA’s mainly focused on the school’s test scores.  More reports will be done soon to see if different issues have improved including  West Test scores.

The Superintendent also showed members a national Newsweek were a county school, Enslow, was featured.

Valentine's city council meeting

By: Alyssa Salyers

In the city council meeting Monday, council motioned to override Mayor Kim Wolfe’s veto on the council's approved ordinance on limiting the mayor’s spending power.

The council did not have enough votes to overturn the mayor’s veto. 

Also council proposed several resolutions authorizing the mayor to apply for grants.

Members turned down the grant on behalf of the fire fighter department on account there was not enough room in the budget.

The police chef was also present to update council on the new technology being implemented into law enforcement due to the 2010 new technology grant.

Also city employee’s brought an issue concerning layoffs before council.

Many workers with seniority are being laid off before those hired recently.

SEC documents for Wal-Mart

By: Alyssa Salyers

            In the sec documents, I found case studies, documents labeled no action letters and many others.  My company to research was the Wal-Mart.  When searching for Wal-Mart documents I found1, 667 results.  The one case study that I observed was one connected to the U.S. Climate Action Partnership.  This study was to investigate whether publicly owned corporations were revealing the risks of global warming regulation to their shareholders.  Several other documents I discovered were something like an inventory of borrowed money from shareholders and reports for security holders.  For the most part, most documents read like a foreign language to me.
